NEW
YORK (FastLane Records) - The New York Dolls set a precedent that most
bands follow today, They were the godfathers of the rock and roll scene
of the 70's glam/punk/rock era. With only two albums under their belt,
the Dolls managed to spawn many bands who have been influenced by the
mighty Dolls. In retrospect, The New York Dolls, were way before their
time, their record label never understood their appeal or recklessness.
30 plus years have past, since the Dolls stood on stage, sporting their
outrageousness and debauchery. with the loss of founding members such
as: Billy Murcia/Johnny Thunders/ Jerry Nolan and the recent demise of
Arthur 'Killer Kane', the Dolls legacy has grown into cult status over
the past three decades. With their pending candidancy into the Rock And
Roll Hall Of Fame, The New York Dolls, prove once again it was 'To much
too soon'. With
a reunion of the three surviving members (David Johansen/Sylvain
Sylvain and Arthur 'Killer Kane) taking place this past summer 2004, we
proudly, pay homage to one of the most underrated bands of
history...The New York Dolls. 'Jetboys Of Babylon' (A Tribute To
The New York Dolls) boasts a hefty line-up of heavy weights to the best
upcoming bands of tomorrow's stars. New York Dolls, legendary frontman
David Johansen, graced this project, by lending us his talents and
re-recording one of his classic Dolls song, Babylon. We also acquired
the very colorful Flipp w/ Steve Jones. Also included on this great
line-up is: Super Deluxe/Slow Motorcade/Tattooed
Millionaires/R50/American Anthem/Starduster/Killingbird/Crash Kelly and
many more. We feel this tribute, captures the true vibe and essence of
the New York Dolls. This recording had been optimized in High
Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) for optimal sound quality.
